Answer:

x = 40° , y = 140° z = 10°

Explanation:

the sum of the 3 angles in a triangle is 180° , then

x + 60° + 80° = 180°

x + 140° = 180° ( subtract 140° from both sides )

x = 40°

the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

y is an exterior angle of the triangle , then

y = 60° + 80° = 140°

x is also an exterior angle , then

30° + z = x

30° + z = 40° ( subtract 30° from both sides )

z = 10°
